In this bonus episode, you get a sneak peek of the great stuff going on in Western Civ 2.0. You can join for a free trial by clicking HERE.After the Third Punic War, the Romans wasted little time turning on each other. Long-standing economic inequality became the issue of the late second century BCE and would, eventually, bring down the republic. In the late 140s, however, Tiberius Gracchus believed his land redistribution scheme might just solve the problem. The Senate felt otherwise. But, in the end, it was not the Lex Agraria per se that cost Tiberius his life. Rather, it was his refusal to play the political game by the old rules.

Savage speaks with Jeremy Carl about his new book The Unprotected Class: How Anti-White Racism Is Tearing America Apart. They reveal the systemic nature of anti-white racism, which goes beyond sentiment and has become an accepted norm in society. Anti-white policies, such as affirmative action and open borders, are tearing society apart by discriminating based on race. Is the idea of the "great replacement theory" a conspiracy theory or just the Democrats' immigration policy? They debunk the absurd notion that there is no white American or European American culture.They also touch upon the radical left's opposition to Western civilization and the Magna Carta. They both agree that Western civilization is under attack and that the anti-Western and the anti-white movement has become extreme. How did the "Western Civ has got to go" movement, which gained prominence during the 1990s, lead to today's radicalism? How has the Left betrayed the Civil Rights Movement's mission to define people by their character rather than their race? Carl then shares about his time at both the Hoover Institute and his current position at the Claremont Institute. Check life insurance off your to do list in no time with Policygenius.

He was wounded and spent 18 months getting repaired at various hospitals in the United States, culminating with operations at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut where neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Whitcomb freed David from his trauma. Subsequently, he spent 40 years working with humanitarian organizations amidst populations suffering from war, exploitation, and impoverishment, including assignments in West Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. From 2010 to 2012, he directed an advocacy effort in Washington DC, which argued for significant transformation of the current systems and approaches of American assistance abroad. Currently, he commutes from Beirut, Lebanon to his farm in Vermont, USA managed by his wife, Annie. His daughter Hank was born in Beirut, his son Alex in Tunis.

This is a bonus sneak-peak of what I do over on the paid feed: Western Civ 2.0. (The actual paid feed does not have ads.) In this episode, I cover the First Punic War. Rome came consistently close to losing this war to Carthage and it is fascinating to think how different the outcome would have been had that happened. The First Punic War (264-241 BC) marked a pivotal moment in ancient Mediterranean history, pitting two formidable powers, Rome and Carthage, against each other in a struggle for supremacy. The conflict was primarily fought over control of Sicily, a strategically significant island rich in resources. Initially, Rome had little naval experience, while Carthage boasted a formidable navy. However, Rome rapidly adapted, constructing a fleet from scratch and employing a innovative tactic of boarding enemy ships to turn naval battles into land-based engagements, thus neutralizing Carthage's naval superiority.The war witnessed several key battles, including the Battle of Mylae and the Battle of Cape Ecnomus, where Rome secured significant victories. Despite these successes, the war dragged on for over two decades, characterized by a grueling war of attrition and fluctuating fortunes for both sides. The conflict exacted a heavy toll on both Rome and Carthage, with substantial loss of life and resources.Ultimately, it was Rome's perseverance and adaptability that proved decisive. The Roman victory in the Battle of the Aegates Islands in 241 BC forced Carthage to sue for peace. The resulting Treaty of Lutatius effectively ended the war, with Carthage ceding Sicily to Rome and paying a hefty indemnity. This victory established Rome as the dominant power in the Western Mediterranean and laid the foundation for its eventual expansion into a formidable empire, while also setting the stage for future conflicts between Rome and Carthage.Join Western Civ 2.0 (Free Trial)

With all its flaws, Western Civilization has been a great blessing to mankind. We all benefit from it. It's not easy to explain why so many people despise what makes their life possible… EU nations are woefully unprepared for any military confrontation… Dennis talks to Julie Kelly. She writes the invaluable “Declassified” Substack.  What one New Year's resolution would you like your spouse to make? Callers weigh in.  U. of Michigan did itself proud by winning the NCAA football championship. Unfortunately, it has embarrassed itself by going full DEI. It may have the biggest DEI program in the country, spending over $200 million annually on counterproductive, uneducational nonsense… Many young men are finding solace with AI girlfriends… Our social security system is totally out of whack, but the public doesn't have the will to fix it.  Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

Star's Reach, is a novel set 400 years ahead in America's neo-medieval future. The King in Orange, a meditation on the relationship between archetype psychology and the occult as acted out in politics and culture. Things are getting weird in America, wouldn't you agree?

Why, it's Andrea Martucci of Shelf Love stopping by the Whoa!mance desk to talk about darling of her childhood, weird uncle of her adulthood - A LADY OF THE WEST by LINDA HOWARD. Victoria leaves Reconstruction behind for The American West, and, its representative, The Major (with her kid sister and cool cousin in tow). The Major got his ranch the old fashioned way. By murdering his boss's enitre family - or so he thinks - and loosing a testicle in the process. His employee, Jake, also wants to get the ranch the old fashioned way - but with a side of revenge. And Victoria. Mostly Victoria. He also doesn't want to lose a testicle. How can we wrestle with a book we enjoy that has harmful ideology? How can we trace the contours of conscientiousness if characters in romance don't share the text's awareness? Is Scarlett O'Hara the white woman's Patrick Bateman? Andrea, Morgan and Isabeau have some big saddlebags to unpack with this one. Which is why it is a two-parter.
